Not only has the case caused outrage among the community, who discovered that the alleged abuses were allowed to continue for years, but it is now going to weigh financially on their shoulders.
It’s clearly saying that the community did not know about the abuses and that the administration was allowing the abuses to continue for years.
Just asserting they know without citing evidence or precedent like a witch hunt is not enough to convince me. Keeping up appearances with outsiders is how these predators survive.
I would have my town buy >$1M of liability insurance. Then the insurance company has a financial incentive to prevent malfeasance with audits and safety requirements. The incidents would be less frequent, and their cost more spread out over time. The average New Yorker didn’t even notice the difference in taxes.
It’s never guaranteed, admittedly. But given which party people in rural Oklahoma, of all places, likely support, and given that party’s pervasive, to the last man support for pedophiles, I think there are some pretty fucking obvious changes they could make to start off with. Don’t you agree?
Edit: and if you don’t believe me about the “pervasive, to the last man support for pedophiles” part, Ted Cruz just confirmed it. Holy fucking shit.
If you’ve lived in a small town than you know that word of this was in many households that stayed silent.
That’s just how small rural towns in America work on issues of abuse.
If you believe this was a completely contained secret, then I have a bridge to sell you.
But yes, many people who are completely innocent will be impacted. What’s your alternative solution?

Another commenter already provided a good answer dealing with that issue.

Boo fucking hoo.
The citizens voted for an abuse-enabling school board that hired the abuse-enabling administration, so they deserve what they get.
Don’t like it? Fucking vet your political representatives better!
New York’s 3rd is one of the nation’s most wealthy and educated districts. They elected George Santos.
It could happen to you.
How could you vet that your representative without any history of doing so would commit or allow sexual abuse?

Thanks for bringing the whole quote. It’s sad that we are seeing the above behaviour / selective quoting here on the fediverse.

And motivated to make changes for the better, as opposed to ignoring the problems.
“I don’t do politics”
That may be, but politics does you - whether you let it or not.
I’ve lived in a village of 600 people for about 6 years and I don’t know anyone here, and don’t want to.
How do you get food, or electricity, or water? If you’re willing to deal with the humans for that stuff, then you need to deal with their society.
